Seagrass meadows are vital ecosystems in coastal zones worldwide, but are also under
global threat. One of the major hurdles restricting the success of seagrass conservation and …

Productivity of seagrasses can be controlled by physiological processes, as well as various
biotic and abiotic factors that influence plant metabolism. Light, temperature, and inorganic …

The biomass and production of seagrass populations were reassessed based on the
compilation of a large data set comprising estimates for 30 species, derived from the …

This review summarizes the historic, correlative field evidence and experimental research
that implicate cultural eutrophication as a major cause of seagrass disappearance. We …

Submerged vegetation respond to increased nutrient loading through a shift from slow-
growing seagrasses and large macroalgae to fast-growing macroalgae, and the ultimate …

Coastal Ecosystem Processes, written by the renowned marine scientist Daniel Alongi,
describes how pelagic and benthic food webs, from beaches and tidal flats to the continental …

Nutrient enrichment of shallow coastal waters changes the composition of plant communities
so that slow-growing, benthic macrophytes are replaced by fast-growing algae such as …

Within the past few decades, major losses of seagrass habitats in coastal waters impacted
by cultural eutrophication have been documented worldwide. In confronting a pressing need …

Loss of eelgrass (Zostera marina) habitat from temperate estuaries worldwide often
coincides with increased macroalgal accumulations resulting from increased delivery of …

During the past two decades we have gained much insight into the factors that regulate the
productivity of seagrass dominated ecosystems, especially those at low latitudes. Here, we …
